Attached to this letter is the required documents providing the proposed exterior modifications
for the location noted above. The current location has an existing restaurant with drive-thru facilities.
The existing building currently complies in scale, form, arch elements and materials that comply w/ ASM
Standards per previous approvals.
The proposed improvements, paint, lighting, and additional fenestration will add to the design
cohesiveness and will represent the brands intention to keep things exciting, light-hearted and spicy...
just like their food! Some of the proposed modifications include:
- Two (2) new windows to provide additional daylight into the dining area.
- A new aluminum overhead glass door system to provide an indoor/outdoor patio area year-
round.
- New exterior paint scheme which represents the brand's look.
The existing monument sign will remain as -is. The building signage being proposed represents Dave's
Hot Chicken Branding.
The existing site landscaping, pedestrian walkways/facilities, parking lot and site lighting will remain as -
is.
Dave's Hot Chicken is a modern-day American dream story. Arman Oganesyan and best friend
Chef Dave Kopushyan, along with brothers Tommy and Gary Rubenyan, launched Dave's Hot
Chicken in a parking lot pop-up in 2017. Dave's Hot Chicken quickly took off, opening its first brick -
and -mortar restaurant in East Hollywood. In 2019, the team struck a deal with Wetzel's Pretzels
co-founder and former CEO, Bill Phelps, and movie producer John Davis to begin franchising the
Dave's Hot Chicken concept throughout the U.S. and beyond. The company has sold the rights to
almost 300 franchise locations in the U.S. and Canada and will open an additional 30 to 40
locations this year. Harkening back to an Eater LA blog that helped propel early interest in the
brand, the company's mission is to "blow their minds." Additional brand investors include former
California First Lady Maria Shriver, Red Sox owner Tom Werner, actor Samuel L. Jackson, and
Good Morning America anchor and retired NFL player Michael Strahan.
